Where she works

Most of the work takes place in Richmond, Northern Virginia and the Tri-State area. Leah is also available for destination weddings and is willing to travel to farther away events.

Choosing your photographer

Ask to see a full wedding gallery and how editing choices look in different light. Talk through your timeline, since the schedule decides how many portraits are possible. Confirm how many hours you need, when the gallery arrives and how long it stays online.

An engagement session is a good way to get used to the camera before the wedding, and many couples find it helps them relax. If you plan a small elopement, ask about packages built for short days. Virginia couples obtain a marriage license from a circuit court clerk, so allow time for it. Bring a short list of must-have shots, such as a parent or grandparent, so nothing important is missed.
